Annika is 6 months old today and I'm having a little bit of twilight zone moment. I know she is 6 months old, but she was born a few weeks ago, so how can this be? At the same time, she's been my baby for ages, decades at least. What is going on?!!
Really, its just been a wonderful time. We have so much fun with her everyday, though her wardrobe is getting a bit bedraggled in appearance. Think yellowish, orange-ish or greenish hues to the neck of all her clothes. Her dark silky hair has been replaced by lighter, thinner and oddly wispy hair. Depending on how the mood strikes it (the hair) it can sweep to the west or reach to the stars or swing both ways at once, channeling Grandpa Munster. I haven't stopped smoothing it down every few minutes, but I'm trying to let go.
In other momentous news, we are going to see two houses tonight, each for the third time and we expect to pick one and make an offer early next week. I'll keep you updated. Both are wonderful houses and we are so lucky to be in a position to buy a house. (This does mean, however, that we are, effective immediately, enforcing strict budgeting and luxury forgoing. If you come to visit, and please do, we may not be lavish, but you'll have a place to stay!)
John is getting settled at work and I think feeling more and more comfortable. I'm so grateful that he works so that Annika and I can stay home.
Other great news is that Gran Mary and Gramps (?) Greg are coming to visit in October. I'm sure Annika will put on her best shows and keep every one very entertained. (Greg will have to let us know his official title. It should be something in keeping with Gran!)
We haven't posted pictures lately but we are planning to soon. House hunting has taken a bit of our time! Thanks for you patience.
All my / our love,
Cynthia
